I wonder. Dumbledore's dead; Narcissa and Snape seemed to think that this was the most important bit, and not necessarily who killed him, otherwise they wouldn't've bothered with the Unbreakable Vow. I don't think Voldemort can afford to eliminate any of his allegedly-staunch supporters at this point. Remember in GOF, he tortured but didn't kill whatshisname (although he did in OOTP, I think). Bellatrix survived whatever the aftermath of the Department of Mysteries fiasco was. Voldemort seems to respond pretty well to sniveling and groveling, and we know Draco's good at that. Yay Draco character development, anyway (it's about time!).
